  • The PUA English Report 2011-2012
    Editor: Nurit Felter-Eitan, Authority Secretary & Spokeswoman All information provided in this report is provided for information purposes only and does not constitute a legal act. The hebrew translation is the current and accurate information. Information in this report is subject to change without prior notice. Greetings, I am delighted to hereby present the Israel Public Utility Authority’s (Electricity) biennial activity report for the years 2012-2011. This report summarizes the Authority’s Assembly’s extensive and meticulous work, assisted by the Authority’s team of professional employees, over the past two years, signifying a turning point in the Israeli electricity and energy markets. Alongside a severe energy crisis that befell the electricity market in the past two years due to the discontinuation of natural gas supply from Egypt and the creation of a gas supply monopoly, these years have seen a historic change in the electricity market, commencing with the admission of private electricity entrepreneurship and clean electricity production in significant capacities (the Authority’s projection for private electricity production is 25% by 2016, and approximately 10% for electricity production using renewable energy by 2020). As a result of the natural gas crisis, which began in 2011 due to recurring explosions in the gas lines leading from Egypt to Israel, the Electricity Authority was faced with a reality that would have forced it to instantly and radically increase in the electricity tariffs for the Israeli consumers in 2012. These circumstances led the Authority to combine forces with government bodies, including the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and lead a comprehensive move which significantly restrained the tariff increase, and furthermore, relieved the electricity consumers’ burden in a manner that enabled spreading the tariff increase over three years.

  • News of Terrorism and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (May 30 – June 5, 2018)
    רמה כ ז מל ו תשר מה ו ד י ע י ן ה ש ל מ ( למ מ" ) News of Terrorism and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (May 30 – June 5, 2018) Overview This past week events focused on two rounds of rocket fire attacking Israel, during which more than 150 rockets and mortar shells were fired, a quantity unprecedented since Operation Protective Edge. The first round was initiated by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in retaliation for the death of three of its operatives, and was joined by Hamas. The second round was apparently carried out by a Fatah faction, in ITIC assessment while Hamas turned a blind eye. At the same time, the violent "popular" activities continue, including damage to the security fence, attempts to penetrate Israeli territory and destroy equipment. Incendiary kites continue causing extensive damage to crops in the western Negev and to local forests and nature reserves. The Israeli prime minister announced he would instruct Israel's National Security Council to deduct the cost of the damages to the farmers from the tax money collected by Israel and paid to the Palestinian Authority (PA). This past week a kite was flown into Israel carrying an IED. It fell near the fence in the Kerem Shalom area. The IED did not explode. The Naksa Day events on June 5 did not attract many participants and there were no exceptional events, with the exception of the continuing flying of incendiary kites. The kites caused nine simultaneous fires in the communities near the Gaza Strip (Ynet, June 5, 2018).
